Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this episode, I'm excited to be speaking with my former colleague Brian Burke, VP Research Analyst for Gartner about the latest Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle that he is a co-author on. Technology is evolving faster than ever and having reliable tools to understand these changes are vital to organizations on their digital journeys. This is where the Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle comes in, it is the most popular hype cycle by far and we get to chat with the expert to understand how Gartner identifies technologies, selects them for the ET Hype Cycle, and the key points you need to understand. Remember to check out “Gartner Hype Cycles Explained” and “Demystifying the Gartner 2020 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle” to go deep on the Gartner Hype Cycles!
